Whether you’re a practiced pro in search of a fresh class, or on the hunt for something new to up your exercise game this year; we’ve rounded up some of the best spin classes that the 852has on offer! A lively, motivating and low impact form of exercise (which can help to burn some serious calories whilst kicking your butt!), spinning may be just the perfect workout you’re looking for, mamas! Check out our favourite classes that keep us returning time after time…

Torq

With a passion for results, Torq spin classes are sure to get your gears going. Go for the classic Torq-Cycle, a 50 minute cycling class varying in intensity, where the instructors adapt their goals and expectations to continually challenge your body and mind. Or mix it up and go for the Cycle-Switch; a 20 minutes HIT cycling ride with a 25 minutes high intensity circuit training class. Perfect for ticking off both cardio and muscle toning workouts, mamas!

XYZ feels more like a nightclub than your average spin class, with dim lighting and an incredible DJ system, it’s the ultimate place to kickstart and continue with your fitness goals!

What’s more, if you’re new to spinning and feeling slightly unsure about it all, they’ve got you covered with their Buddy Ride class. Bring a mama friend along (also someone to keep you accountable!), free of chargeand inject your ride with an extra dose of happiness, in this 50 minute class!

If you’ve got a sensitive knee or lower back when it comes to spinning, go for something new with Hydro 1.0’sunderwater spin classes!

Since the water provides the resistance, there are no levels to worry about – it’s much more about the positioning of your body, the speed of your legs and the movement of your arms. The theory goes that the combination of higher resistance and lower impact is better for both your muscles and your joints, so why not try it out?!

With dramatic lighting and sound effects, the classes at The Spin Room are guaranteed to immerse you in an extremely energetic atmosphere.

Experienced spinners should try out the Spin – Power class, which combines hill climbs with endurance and speed for a serious work-out. Or work on your core with the Spin + Core class, incorporating 40 minutes of cycling and 15 minutes of core focused mat exercises!

For a spin class with a real difference, more experienced spinners should try out the RealRyder classes at Pure Fitness. The one-of-a-kind experience involves bikes which move across three planes of motion (rather than the usual stationary bike) – which creates a more realistic riding experience and leads to a better riding technique, along with increased core activation. The dynamic class is choreographed to music and is sure to get you sweating, mamas!

A born and bred Brit with a constant sense of wanderlust (and an insatiable appetite to match!), Annie will travel far and wide for a good meal. New to Hong Kong, she's quickly learning that it has so much more to offer than just pork buns; and can usually be found cooking, reading or looking at pictures of pugs on Instagram.
